Summary :

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a way to securely expand the secret key to be used in One-time pad, and it is attracting great interest from not only theorists but also experimentalists or engineers who are aiming for the actual implementations. In this paper, we review the theoretical aspect of QKD, especially we focus on its security proof, and we briefly mention the possible problems and future directions.
